Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), Wisconsin's premier lobby for corporate tax breaks and low wage jobs, has unleashed a $600,000 ad blitz to strip Wisconsin's independent Chief Justice of her title just as the court prepares to take up the "John Doe" criminal probe of Scott Walker and the special interest groups that defended him against recall in 2012.
WMC's spending in the recall campaigns is one of key issues in the case. The case will be be considered in secret without oral arguments by Wisconsin's Supreme Court whose conservative majority was elected by WMC.

WMC says the issue is democracy, but the claim is a howler given that the powerful corporate lobby shop has already spent millions to elect the court's right-wing majority and to ensure the GOP's complete control of the legislative and executive branches of government. They are now gunning for the independent Chief Justice as the court prepares to delve into allegations of illegal campaign coordination between Governor Scott Walker and–you guessed it–WMC and other allegedly "independent" campaign groups.
